Film director Spike Lee has apologized to a Florida couple after he retweeted an address that was described as the home of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who shot Trayvon Martin.

The mistake forced David and Elaine McClain, a couple in their 70s whose home is about four miles from where Martin was killed, to flee to a hotel.

D’oh.

The McClains demanded an apology from Lee, who has nearly 250,000 followers on Twitter. He should also probably give them gas and hotel money, plus a new front lawn, which may or may not have been trampled by people looking for their own brand of justice.

“He definitely owes a big apology,” McClain told the Orlando Sentinel. “All this is really scary and it’s a shame. There’s no reason they put our address out there without checking to see who lived there.”

Late Wednesday, Lee made the apology via Twitter, saying he deeply apologized and urged people to “leave the McClain’s [sic] in Peace.”

Some Twitter members have been sending Lee angry and often racist tweets in response to his sharing of the address, many of which he has retweeted.

LINDSAY LOHAN FREE: A judge ended Lindsay Lohan’s supervised probation on Thursday, giving the actress her freedom after nearly two years of constant court hearings and threats of jail.

Air raid sirens went off in Los Angeles, alerting pedestrians to clear the streets and bars, clubs, restaurants and liquor stores and lock their doors.

Lohan thanked Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner for her patience and let out a sigh of relief as she exited the courtroom after the brief hearing.

The judge had imposed a series of strict probation requirements including cleanup duty at the morgue and counseling sessions last year, and Lohan met all the requirements by Thursday’s deadline.

“I just want to say thank you for being fair. It’s really opened a lot of doors for me,” the 25-year-old Lohan said.

Sautner told the problem-prone actress she was not going to give a lecture, but reminded her that she will remain on informal probation until May 2014 for taking a necklace without permission last year.

“You need to live your life in a more mature way, stop the nightclubbing and focus on your work,” Sautner said.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. See? Even judges have senses of humor sometimes.

If Lohan does get into more trouble, she could face a 245-day jail sentence in the necklace case. The judge said she understood that Lohan may be frustrated with constant scrutiny by paparazzi and others, but noted, “That’s the life you chose.”

Well, sort of. If by “chose” she means having insanely narcissistic parents who thrust you into the limelight at a young age so they could profit and live vicariously through your fame. Then, yes, That’s the life she “chose.”

A probation report filed in the case noted that Los Angeles police are investigating a nightclub manager’s claims that Lohan struck him with her Porsche two weeks ago, but no charges have been filed.

The hearing came as Lohan’s career is showing hints of a comeback. She is due to guest star on an upcoming episode of “Glee,” recently hosted a highly rated but criticized episode of “Saturday Night Live” and is set to star as Elizabeth Taylor in a television movie.

“Lindsay is already talking about her next few projects,” her spokesman Steve Honig wrote in a statement after the hearing. “She is ready to start the next chapter in her life and get back to work and doing what she loves to do — making movies.”

I think he meant to say something else.

Roles have been hard to come by for Lohan in recent years, as she has been in-and-out of courtrooms, spent time in rehab, was involved in car accidents, and was sentenced to jail.

DAVID ARCHULETA SAYS GOODBYE: “American Idol” runner-up David Archuleta has posted a farewell YouTube video to fans as he prepares for a two-year Mormon mission in South America.

The 21-year-old singer says in a video blog posted Wednesday that his contact with fans will be limited while he’s in the undisclosed country.

Hopefully, he will not get eaten.

KSL reports he entered the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah, on Wednesday as a precursor to the assignment.

Archuleta competed on the seventh season of “American Idol” and has since released three albums. He announced at a December concert that he’d be going on a mission, like many young men in the church.

He says in his video that he’s “trying to focus on something else” besides his career, and looks forward to spending more “one-on-one time with my Heavenly Father.”

ROBIN GIBB HAS SURGERY: Robin Gibb is recovering in a London hospital after undergoing emergency intestinal surgery, reports said Thursday.

The Bee Gees singer underwent the surgery last weekend, representing a new setback in his long battle with colon cancer. He has been forced to cancel a number of commitments, publicist Doug Wright told the Associated Press.

Gibb was slated to attend the Royal Philharmonic’s premiere performance of “The Titanic Requiem” in London on April 10, and will perform a new song, “Don’t Cry Alone.”

The requiem, a classical composition by Gibb and his son, RJ, commemorates the April 1912 sinking of the ocean liner and the loss of more than 1,500 lives.

The Australian reported that Gibb’s Sunday surgery was to remove a dangerous blood clot from Gibb’s intestine. It’s the follow-up to his emergency surgery in 2010, when doctors treated a twisted intestine. The same problem was responsible for the 2003 death of Maurice Gibb, Robin’s twin brother.

“Robin underwent the operation successfully, he is awake and has been talking to his doctors,” reads a statement on his website. “He is currently being monitored and resting in the hospital and his family are hoping for his full recovery.”

BOY BANDS THREATENS TO REUNITE: Boy band 98 Degrees — which is technically is a man band now — may be on track to reunite this summer.

E!Online reports that rumors are “flying” that Nick Lachey, Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons and Justin Jeffre are set to go on a 15-city tour this summer.

Hunkatastic!

Adding fuel to the fire (that could be interpreted as a rising temperature pun), is the fact that the band’s website was updated for the first time in 10 years on Wednesday and some hints have recently been dropped on Twitter.

Hunkalicious!

“Is it just me or does (98degrees.com) look a little different that it did yesterday? just saying,” Lachey, who’s expecting his first child with wife Vanessa Lachey, tweeted Wednesday.

Hunkaawesome!

“Look, you never can believe rumors, but I’d be open to it for sure!” Timmons wrote. The 38-year-old boy-bander turned part-time Chippendales performer also retweeted posts from excited fans about a possible reunion. (His rep told E! News they “can neither conform nor deny” reunion reports “at this time.)
